March is here already.  Full of new beginnings where Spring officially begins, Daylight Savings time returns and we can celebrate International Women’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day.  On March 1st, you might even be celebrating National Peanut Lover’s Day, World Compliment Day or National Pig Day.  I hope you can find a celebration that brings a tune to mind.

District 5 has resumed most of our playouts at local assisted living establishments and we are having a good time sharing music and practicing new tunes.
